Drafts and submissions component

The Drafts & Submissions component lists all the forms that are in the draft state and the forms that are already submitted. The component has separate sections (tabs) for drafts and submitted forms. The users can view only their drafts and submitted forms.

Configuring the component

The Drafts & Submissions component has two tabs: Drafts and Submissions.

To enable submission of an adaptive form to appear in the submissions tab, set the Submit action to Forms Portal Submit Action. Alternatively, enable the Forms Portal Submit option. Whenever, a user submits the form, the form is added to the submissions tab.

Opomba:

In a production environment, it is recommended not to store draft or submitted form data in AEM repository. When you use the Forms Portal submit action or enable the Store data in forms portal option in adaptive form, the form data is stored in AEM repository. Instead in a production environment, you must integrate the drafts and submission component with a secure storage like enterprise database to store drafts and submitted forms data. For more information, see Sample for integrating drafts & submissions component with database.

The drafts functionality is enabled out of the box. When a user clicks Save on an adaptive form, the form is added to the drafts tab.
